RE: how deer die
Total Crap
Lung shot, Heart shot, makes NO difference.
What actually kills the deer is lack of oxygen to the brain.
If you poke enough holes in his lungs they cannot oxygenate the blood supply - the deer actually first passes out first - 10-12 seconds later he expires.
Poke his heart full of holes and no blood makes it to the brain - lack of OXto the brain and he is done.
If you drag out some hunting videos you can see this in action.
Watch for the shot and start counting -1 one thousand- 2 one thousand
The deer will hit the ground within 1-2 seconds from 12 one thousand.
When you are watching your hunting videos he will go down in 12 seconds and on occasion you will see the legs or tail wiggle but 20-22 seconds after the shot it is all over with.
When the Army taught us how to strangle people during hand-to-hand combat, we were taught it takes 12 seconds without air/blood for the opponent to pass out; you have to keep the pressurehim for 21 seconds to kill him
Deer and men are about the same size.
It all ways amazes me when I hear people tell me they made a perfect shot and the deer still ran 400 yds – sorry it ain’t going to happen.
When the brain goes to sleep the legs quit working.
Actually when it is all said and done there are only two things that kill any animal:
Lack of oxygen to the brain.
Catastrophic damage to the brain[/ol]
